Sensitive Issues

Such as those that cause a fury between the right and left. I've always been a pro-choicer and will always be one but I just have to say that once you experience an abortion that happens in your family, it really touches base with you. My older brother had a girlfriend that he had loved for such a longtime, and would have an off and on relationship and then she ended up pregnant. This was after a series of off and on relationship over six years. She then aborted the child and wanted nothing to do with him. I read his blog post about it and it feels sad. I mean, I could have been an uncle but am not due to her choice to just not have it, with no good reason whatsoever...

Tender Sugar

Lately I have been in a Metroid mood. I've always loved the games (except for the older ones, in which I have yet to play) and started playing the two that I have again. In Metroid Prime I didn't manage to get 100% completion (came close at 97%) and tried again and managed. Now I'm starting again on Echoes and am totally loving it. I don't have a Wii but next school quarter I plan on getting one to get to play the third one. Ever since my 'awakening' of playing them again I have become obsessed. Samus is awesome! haha.

On a much different note, I feel a little worthless. I feel like the knowledge that I have gained is waning due to the lack of not using it. I review, sometimes, my psychology book to have a type of recovering and it works but I fear I have lost most of that and my Math skills. The worthlessness comes from the feeling that I am not smarter than I was last year, I guess. Hopefully this feeling passes because I know I'm not an idiot, I just need to work harder toward my studies.
